In recent years, hull-less barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) has been included in food production in Europe due to its diverse health benefits. The main objective of this study was to evaluate hull-less barley yield and grain quality grown under different climatic conditions in Latvia and Norway. Preliminary results indicate that hull-less varieties have significantly (p is less than 0.05) lower yield potential than hulled varieties regardless cereal species and species origin. Higher content of healthy substances such as protein and β-glucan content were observed in hull-less barley genotypes in comparison to hulled ones, but these genotypes are more responsive to environmental and management changes.
